  1. @smcbride I think the fiction is that your brain-ship interface simulates it for usability reasons :D (besides, player chatter was great)
  2. @mchangolin ohhhh, and an awesome anigif showing goon's rout of BoB in Delve: http://images.tentonhammer....
  3. @mchangolin Still, it's home to big drama: http://bit.ly/6uukWH geopolitical maps: http://bit.ly/4pwknt and griefing: http://bit.ly/8Rz3TX
  4. @mchangolin For every one of those amazing fleet moments, there is LOTS of tedium. Probably not unlike being a real soldier.
  5. @mchangolin I've already sunk a year on and off into Eve - at its best, it's totally amazing, but it's a real lifestyle game.
  6. @mchangolin the problem is, that's the end-game experience. Would take a good 5-6 months to skill up to fly the ships they're using.
  7. @halftime yeah, but you're crazy hardcore about other very difficult game tasks, like serious-business puzzles. I think you get a pass. :D
  8. @mchangolin That's 98% in-game. Only the ship/player/system decals are done in post-production. Hard to get that FPS in fleet battles, tho.
  9. Oh EVE, why must you always tempt me with beautiful videos? Actually sounds like fleet combat, too. http://bit.ly/5qpPfk
  10. @tse524 I walk by one on the way home - the corner of, I think, Highland and West. Probably pretty far out of your way, though.
  11. This nicely captures why I don't enjoy RPGs http://bit.ly/8WOqZN performance motivation versus mastery; I stop playing when I stop learning.
  12. @hrheingold presenter access is absolutely critical - it's harder to be mean to someone's face; breaks the anonymity that promotes flaming
  13. @brynn but a big part of it is how the conference organizers understand and frame the backchannel - saying "this is for questions" is huge
  14. @brynn I'm biased, but I think we addressed the major issues-it's low frequency, has a focused audience, and voting helps norms develop
  15. @brynn whew, tricky situation, but I think twitter is inappropriate as a public backchannel, and presenters should always have monitors.
  16. My officemate has an extra $25 ticket to Joshua Bell's concert at Symphony Hall tonight at 8p - dm me if you want it.
  17. @olinerd I've developed a habit where I always put watch/whatever inside my main bag. Also saves my burts bees from getting confiscated. :P
  18. @meenavem after reading some of @ladygaga's tweets, I noticed the MONSTERS title on those pods at the beginning of the video. Neat.
  19. @meenavem I think watching bad romance on repeat in my room might be the sweet spot for my lady gaga fascination. Clubs are scary!
  20. The NYTimes has an open source database abstraction layer for decoupling databases and web front-ends? Huh. http://bit.ly/8U2ek9
